Taylored Expressions Little Bits Shamrocks

Hi everyone!

Today Jaydee has a fun color challenge for us at The Paper Players...right in time for St. Patty's day!

That's what I chose to make anyway!

I stamped the sentiment from Boreka and cut it out with MFT's pierced squares. I layered it with several other fun patterned squares, and added some tiny shamrocks from Taylored Expressions Little Bits.

St. Patricks Day is a special day for me, as it's the day my daughter was born!

She was my first, and back then, we were living in our home town, with lots of friends and family around. Everyone was SO excited, and giving me their ideas of when I would have the baby. My hubby's grandma kept telling me that I would have the baby on HER birthday, which was St. Patricks Day.

I have to say that it all made me nervous! I didn't want to disappoint anyone I guess...LOL.

But yes, that was the day she was born, the same as her great grandma. We slipped over to the hospital during the night...parking the car around the back, thinking no one would notice. But sure enough...it's a small town....I had 3 grandma's peeking into my room before I knew it.

Oh Laurie, I love the lovely story about your daughter's birth! I know it is a treasured memory! Your card is perfect! All those lovely shades of green! WOW! The Boreka stamp is so FUN! Wishing you a fantastic week, My Friend! XX

LOL, what a fun story! I know a couple of St Pat's babies too! I try to not give them green cards for their birthdays but somehow a little green always sneaks in there! Your card is fun and delightful!

Love hearing your story about how special St. Patrick's day is for you and your daughter! Can't keep a secret in a small town, lol! This card is adorable--love the fun and whimsical feel of the papers and the font. Great shamrock dies too! Enjoy your daughter's birthday!!

Laurie, I love the multiple DSPs - you brought them together fabulously and, of course, you would have some awesome shamrock dies and I am in love with that font - it just seems perfect for St Patty's. Fabulous card. thanks for rocking my challenge this week, my friendhugsjaydee
